I'm on another Dylan kick. I just picked up Chronicles and am really enjoying it. His way with words isn't confined to lyrical selections.

The 1974 Rolling Thunder concert is one that I spin constantly. Anyone else love this period/tour? The only thing I wish is that Blood on the Tracks got more love live. Did those songs, besides Tanled up in Blue, ever get much stage time?

About half of them have been regularly played since their release; the other half are genuine rarities. "Buckets of Rain" has only been played once (an unremarkable version from the early 1990's), and "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" is credibly rumored to have been played once at this show in 1976, though no recording exists and official documentation of it ever having happened in the first place is generally pretty scarce (though the fact that this setlist is posted on Dylan's website might be worth something). That show is also supposedly the only time "Black Diamond Bay" from "Desire" was played live.

"Meet Me In the Morning" has only been played once; however, it was in 2007 at a show where Jack White guested, and White (to my understanding) sang the whole thing.

"Tangled Up in Blue," "Simple Twist of Fate," "You're a Big Girl Now," "If You See Her, Say Hello," and "Shelter From the Storm" have all been played regularly over the years. "Idiot Wind" and "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" are both real rarities but there are some stellar versions from 1976, which are the performances that count.

Below are a few classic soundboards from that era which feature some of the "BOTT" tunes (they're from the Expecting Rain forum, so I'm not sure if they're active links). There are great acoustic versions of "Tangled" and "Simple Twist" on the "Live 1975" set, and definitive versions of "You're a Big Girl Now," "Idiot Wind," and "Shelter" on the "Hard Rain" album from 1976, the superior (if less comprehensive) album in my opinion.

My Morning Jacket touring with Dylan?

Thanks a lot Kevin Davis!

It's crazy to me that he released BOTT and Desire within a year of each other.

I guess releasing Bringing it All Back Home and Highway 61 within 6 months of each other is crazier .

And wilco

Its a traveling festival, i think we are going to check it out either in va beach or at the merryweather in Maryland

Love this TV appearance. Thanks for the memory jolt. And in return check out STOFate at 15mins-ish.

It's on Biograph but is this another version??? Great great song. Heard a decent cover years ago but can't remember who. I'll search...

EDit: The Revelators who was basically The Black Sorrows (Joe Camilleri). Here's a link but you have to click thru to the track

That version actually isn't on Biograph; it's an outtake from the Shot of Love sessions, far superior to the released version in my opinion.

I just listened to it. Wow. Hadn't heard that one.

This is just perfection right here, love the solo and guitar tone. The crowd are bizarre though. The fuckin 90's were weird man.

SOY BOMB

So uh, Dylan and Wilco touring this summer.

Man that takes me back.

Yeah, I'm finally going to see Bob Dylan live this summer.

They fucking play on a Wednesday out here.

When the hell are theys hipping out the Blood on the tracks pre-orders?

I guess you know what to expect. My advice is try to figure out what song he is playing as quick as you can. Often the lyrics are the only thing you can connect with. It will make the experience much more enjoyable. Well that and Wilco/MMJ!

what's a 'wilco'?

for some reason i want to connect it with that trendy album 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' back in the day.
